Why is there a new SmartThings app?

To help you get the most out of your smart home, we’re working to connect products and services from Samsung with the vast ecosystem of devices that work with SmartThings. The original SmartThings app has been renamed SmartThings Classic. We are working to seamlessly transition our existing users over to the new SmartThings application. In the meantime, we encourage you to stay on SmartThings Classic until we notify you that you are ready to transfer over. SmartThings Classic will eventually be retired.

How is the new SmartThings app different than SmartThings Classic?

As we bring together the Samsung and SmartThings IoT services, we are ensuring that all of the features you love are available in our new mobile app. In the interim, we have renamed the app you currently use to SmartThings Classic. There is no immediate impact and users will be notified when they’re ready to transition to the new ‘SmartThings’ app.

How long will there be two apps?

We do not have a specific sunset date for SmartThings Classic, but it will not happen until the new SmartThings app can support you, our existing customers. We will let you know ahead of time before SmartThings Classic is no longer supported.

Will I have to switch to the new app?

At this time, you do not need to do anything. We will be sending you communications as necessary to help you with the transition process.

Will the same Works With SmartThings devices work with the new app?

We are working to ensure your favourite Works With SmartThings devices will have similar (and sometimes more) features in the new app.
